David Morgan
While most might imagine David Morgan AO to have a conservative economic background, the truth is far more exotic. Prior to becoming the CEO of a global top-20 bank, he overcame the scars of his father’s bankruptcy, starred alongside Olivia Newton-John as a child actor, turned down a spot at Richmond Football Club, survived a stand-off with an African dictator, and served in the Treasury of the Hawke-Keating government as it liberalised Australia’s economy.
After a PhD at the London School of Economics, Morgan worked at the International Monetary Fund in Washington, uncovering eye-watering corruption on foreign postings, until Canberra pulled him home. As a co...

In Hostile Skies
James "Jim" Davis piloted a B-24, as part of the 8th Air Force, on nearly thirty missions in the European Theatre during World War II. He flew support missions for Operations Cobra and Market Garden and numerous bombing missions over occupied Europe in the summer and fall of 1944, attacking enemy airfields, airplane factories, railroad marshalling yards, ship yards, oil refineries, and chemical plants. While he and his crew survived without serious injuries, they witnessed the destruction of many of their friends' planes and experienced serious damage to their own plane on several occasions.
The Thing about Religion
Common views of religion typically focus on the beliefs and meanings derived from revealed scriptures, ideas, and doctrines. David Morgan has led the way in radically broadening that framework to encompass the understanding that religions are fundamentally embodied, material forms of practice. This concise primer shows readers how to study what has come to be termed material religion—the ways religious meaning is enacted in the material world. Material religion includes the things people wear, eat, sing, touch, look at, create, and avoid. It also encompasses the places where religion and the social realities of everyday life, including gender, class, and race, intersect in physical ways. T...
Get the Skinny on Silver Investing
An economist and financial expert reveals the wealth of opportunities to profit from one of today’s most important commodities. David Morgan draws on his decades of experience as a private economist and background in engineering to demonstrate why silver is an ideal asset for any investment portfolio. The supply and demand fundamentals are so overwhelming that anyone with a basic understanding of economics will see the wisdom in silver investing. Morgan debunks some of the persistent myths about silver, including the notion that digital photography will ruin the market. He also examines how silver is traded on the commodities exchanges. As the first form of money mentioned in the Bible, it remains synonymous with money in many languages. Now Morgan shows you how to tape into this age-old asset.
